But not like you usually see them.

I am fascinated by seed pods. They’re mesmerizing.

Back in Lock Down.

February 14, 2021

My state is in Lock Down again. Here’s what I did the house last time, planted some sunnies.

Before

I used to have a row of very overgrown agapanthus out the front of my house. They came out, (with an excavator) and I grew some sunflowers.

After

The sunflowers grew very well, taller than I had envisaged.

This flower began as a tiny cutting that had interesting leaf shapes. I pinched a very tiny piece and carefully tended it on my windowsill, until it has grown and flowered. The flower is not really impressive but it is very different!

The first two pictures have interesting points of focus.

There are so many stages of a sunflower’s growth. Nature forms the most beautiful patterns and structures in something as simple as a single flower.

Dahlia

February 7, 2021

This is a strange little red flower. I planted some dahlia seeds and some stunted little plants have struggled to survive.

Nerine

February 6, 2021

I adore nerines. They were my mum’s favorite flowers and every time I see one I think fondly of her. I planted a few bulbs in my garden and was pleasantly surprised to see this one flower.
